Abstract
Zinc acetate (Zn(OAc)2) loaded on activated carbon (AC) is the most commonly used catalyst for the industrial synthesis of vinyl acetate (VAc) using the acetylene method. The aim of this study is to optimize the Zn(OAc)2/AC catalyst by adding co-catalysts to improve its activity and stability. Ternary catalysts were synthesized by adding Co and Ni to the Zn(OAc)2/AC catalyst (Zn-Co-Ni/AC). Due to the strong synergistic effect among promoter Co, Ni, and the active component of Zn(OAc)2, the resulting catalyst is capable to absorb more acetic acid and less acetylene. The stability and activity of Zn-Co-Ni/AC catalyst have been improved through electron transfer to alter the electron cloud density around the Zn element. Under the same reaction conditions, the activity of Zn-Co-Ni/AC catalyst was enhanced by 83% compared to that of Zn(OAc)2/AC, and the activity was still as high as 30.1% after 120 h of testing.
